Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume the original two-digit number is 10x + y, where x and y are the tens and units digits respectively.

  2. The number obtained by interchanging the digits will be 10y + x.

  3. According to the problem, the original number is 63 more than the number obtained by interchanging the digits. So, we can write the equation as: 10x + y = 63 + 10y + x.

  4. Simplifying this equation gives: 9x - 9y = 63.

  5. Dividing through by 9 gives: x - y = 7.

  6. The problem also states that the sum of the digits of the number is 11. So, we can write the equation as: x + y = 11.

  7. Now we have a system of two equations: x - y = 7 and x + y = 11.

  8. Adding these two equations gives: 2x = 18, so x = 9.

  9. Substituting x = 9 into the equation x + y = 11 gives: 9 + y = 11, so y = 2.

  10. Therefore, the original number is 92.
